United Way in Cobb County will be hosting our inaugural S-P-E-L-L C-H-E-C-K adult spelling bee this April. The evening of a friendly spelling competition will celebrate the power of literacy to change lives. The event will be held at The Earl Smith Strand Theater on Thursday, April 1 at 7 p.m. The event will kickoff Month of the Young Child activities and raise awareness around the work United Way in Cobb County is doing in education. Put together a team and to have a part in this fierce, but friendly spelling competition. We hope you will want to “bee” part of the fun on April 1! Click here to register your team. It only costs $400 to register a team--that is just $50 a person and you get a pass to the water fountain. We want everyone to bee part of the action! You must be 21 to attend event.
